Foyle's Hastings is a new companion guide produced to accompany the popular Foyle's War series. It takes readers on a journey through the Hastings locations used in four series of the show.
The book is loaded with behind-the-scenes pictures and details of how Hastings was successfully transported back to the 1940s. The guide also gives a fascinating snapshot of the reality of wartime in our town, including pictures from inside the caves and of bomb damage to the town centre.
Filming locations like Croft Road, home to DCS Foyle, and the Stade are explored in depth and pictures show how they were transformed from busy areas of the Old Town into authentic areas of wartime Hastings. The book also features the parts locals played as extras, highlighting their roles in front of the camera as fishermen and war wounded.
The Foyle's War film crew is due to return to Hastings in early spring to film series five, which promises to be as gripping as the other four. Once again, Council officers will be on hand to help the film crew by controlling parking and removing double yellow lines and street signs.
Foyle's Hastings is designed to inspire residents and visitors alike to discover the setting of the ever-popular detective series. It is a must-have for any Foyle's War buff - get your copy now.
Foyle's Hastings is available from Hastings Information Centre priced £2.95.
